Gladiator Mud Flaps Questions!

[Cattywumpuss]

Hi all. I’m a new Gladiator owner and want to get some mud flaps for my ride to stop some of the road spray and salt flying up on to the doors.

I’m not super keen on the idea of drilling holes in my brand new Jeep so I have been looking at the “no drill” variety and was wondering if they are worth it? Are the “no drill” ones as good as the ones you drill in and bolt to the body / fenders?

For those of you with “no drill” ones, any suggestions on brands or things to look out for or pay attention to?

Any help or feedback is much appreciated! Thank you!

I’ve run Weather Tech no-drill mud flaps on a Sport S and now on a Rubicon. I bought for front and rear for the Sport S, and a) noticed they don’t really do anything in the rear, b) preferred the look with just the fronts, so that’s all I run now on the Rubicon.

And when I trade for a JT 392, I’ll buy a third set of fronts!!

Thank you for the feedback. The Weather Tech ones made it on to my radar already.

This is actually a quote from another thread about mud flaps I did recently, but here is my two cents... again.

Rokblokz.
They are on the spendy side, but worth it.

They come in a couple of different sizes that you can select to fit your needs better, are adjustable horizontally if you have wider or spaced tires, and can be completely removed by hex wrenched thumb screws if you are going someplace where they could get damaged or get in the way.

Also, you can get them color matched or customized to what you want.

This was taken last summer-ish, mine are black with orange logo and in Long/XL. This is mostly due to us using rocks/pebbles on the roads instead of salt. Keeps you from screwing up other people's windshields due to tossing rocks.

The only concern I would have with them, especially on the front, would be that they only come with a front cutout for the Rubicon rails, again like the ones in the picture. Rear ones fit on anything.

They are no-drill, and fit like a glove.

You do have to remove a couple of plastic fender liner rivets and fasteners to install the Weather Tech. This tool will help, and is cheap. I use the one on the far right.

Another Rokblokz fan. By the way, you can order the fronts with or without the rock rail cutout. I ordered them without as I replaced the rails with nerf bars.

I use the Rockblox and they have been perfect.

Rokblokz on mine and I love them. They are expensive but worth it and can easily be removed quickly if needed on a trail

I’m on the RockBlox side, and if you call them, they will let you get the logo in the same color as the flap material, toning down the branding.

Thank you. I found that thread earlier and was reading it too. They look very sharp on your Jeep I must say.

Thanks for the recommendation. I figured I’d need one of those kits soon and appreciate it comes in green! .

One thing I’ll mention. As much as I have thus far been satisfied with my Weather Techs on two Jeeps, you can’t remove them as easily as mentioned above with the RockBlox.

Another fan of Rokblokz. Easy to install and love being able to remove them without tools. Just need to make sure they are fastened good and tight as I have heard they have a tendency to loosen up by themselves. Haven't had any issues with mine doing that. Keeps the sides of the jeep much cleaner.

Not to hijack, but has anyone used the Rally Armor flaps?

I like Weather Tech, have them on the JT and JL.
